Oh she may be weary

Young girls they do get wearied

Wearing that same old funky dress

Ooh  while she gets weary weary

Won't you try ten—tenderness

You know she's there waiting

And anticipating

For the thing she'll never
Never have Oh  no no

Ooh  while she gets weary

Won't you try  oh
Try some tenderness

Mmm hmm

And I know it

Sentimental no no  ah

She had  Lord  she had
Her grief and cares

But when ah  ha girl

Soft words were spoken

Made it easier  easy girl

Easier to bear

You know you won't regret it  no ah

Young girls they don't forget it

Loving the same old
Same old happiness  yeah  ha yeah

Ooh  while she gets weary weary

Won't you try  oh
